THE MORGAN FELLOWSHIP.

The share of the bequests made to several colleges by the late Henry T. Morgan of New York, has been received and has been applied by the corporation to the establishment of four new fellowships for advanced students. By the regulations adopted by the academic council, the holders of these fellowships are to be persons carrying on their studies in Cambridge in the departments of philology, philosophy, history, political science, mathematics, chemistry, physics, natural history or music; but it is not necessary for an applicant to have received an academic degree or to be a candidate for one, the test of qualification being special fitness and proper training, however acquired, for the advanced work undertaken. Evidence of personal capacity and suitable preparation the applicant is required to present with his application, and for this purpose diplomas, certificates from individuals competent to judge, and work previously done by him in the line of his special study, are equally admissible. The holders of the Morgan fellowships will have an income of $500 each, will be required in each department to work under the supervision of a committee of the academic council, and to make this their sole occupation. The appointments are to be made for one year, incumbents being eligible, however, for the following year.
